}} '''BIONICLE''' was a ~~series~~theme of 343 [[set]]s sold and invented by the [[LEGO]] Company from [[2001]] through [[2010]]. It is usually attributed to the [[TECHNIC]] line due to the inclusion of [[TECHNIC]] specific elements and building-styles although being a largely independent product series. The sets were tied together by an elaborate original storyline that centred around bio-mechanical characters such as the [[Toa]], which are generally large, powerful beings that usually serve good. The evil Makuta warriors, which are servants of Makuta Teridax himself fight against the Toa. The story stresses the [[Three Virtues]], unity, duty, and destiny. BIONICLE is one of the most successful and long lasting LEGO series, having "saved" the company in the [[1999]] through 2001 crisis. It has been rumored to re-appear in [[2013]]. The name "BIONICLE" is short for '''Bio'''logical Chro'''nicle''' (A common misconception is that it stands for '''Bio'''mechanical Chro'''nicle'''. Another misconception is that the word is derived from '''Bionic''' with a '''-le''' suffix).
